MOOSE MOUNTAIN PROVINCIAL PARK - Madison Mould was born and raised on a farm just outside of Windthorst by her parents Michael and Nancy Muscoby.
Mould attended the Windthorst School until its closure in 2006, and then she went to Kipling School until the start of Grade 10.
During those years she was bullied in school and by adults for her height, as she is 6'4". The experiences caused severe anxiety.
The bullying became unbearable, and this is when Mould decided to stay home and finish her schooling online. She also started to get serious about her artistic skills.
Having loved art since she could pick up a pencil, she turned more to her art as a way to relax, have peace and escape from the bullying.
When she graduated Grade 12, Mould took a course through the University of Regina to get her certificate in local government administration. She also married her high school sweetheart William Mould and they have a three-year-old sonFinley. They live on the family farm in the house that William Mould grew up in.
Her art has always been a passion, and she loves to dabble in many forms of it, whether it be watercolour, acrylic or oil. She also loves to draw with black marker, giving her art a unique appearance.
Not only does she dabble with the black marker on paper, but she digitally uses procreate on her iPad and is also tackling some woodburning art. She loves to try new techniques and styles, and she is very versatile when it comes to her artwork.
Although she paints everything from nature to people to buildings, recently she has focused on animals with her watercolour.
It gives the paintings a messy look, yet they are detailed.
Mould likes to alternate her styles by not only using a canvas but using clothing to give them that special touch.
Michelle Psiurski is a friend of the family, and she has previously attended the Moose Mountain Provincial Park's Artist Colony, so Mould thought she would give it a try.
She looks forward to getting her name out there and hoped to bring something unique to the colony from June 24-30.
“I have never done anything like this before and I looked forward to all the firsts that this might bring,” said Mould, who was excited for the opportunity to share her art with more people and other artists.
